Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Heading - Part B

Breakthrough energy catalyst foundation's tax year originally ended on june 30 and it timely filed its initial form 990 for the tax year ended 6/30/2021. Shortly after the initial return was timely filed, it filed an extension for a short tax year of 7/1/2021-12/31/2021. The extension appropriately indicated that this was a short year due to a change in the tax year end. The extension was accepted, but the irs business master file was not updated to change the fiscal year end date. (this was breatkthrough energy catalyst foundation's first tax year change, therefore no form 1128 was required.) when breakthrough energy catalyst foundation filed its 12/31/21 short year tax return on the extended due date of november 15th, 2022, it was rejected. Upon seeking assistance from the irs with the efiling rejection, the irs advised checking the initial return box (as a workaround) and resubmitting. This is not an initial return, but it is being submitted with that box checked based on the guidance from the irs.

IRS990/Desc0Over the past century, the world has seen an extraordinary increase in the global consumption of fossil fuels and the consequent emission of greenhouse gases; the effects of this change are both familiar and devastating. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manufacturers and producers in industries worldwide need to adopt clean, economically efficient alternatives to fossil fuels. The Foundation supports high-potential demonstration projects and early adoption of transformational emissions reduction technologies by providing funding for these projects at critical phases in their development. To date, the Foundation focuses on funding the development and demonstration of three specific areas: -Sustainable aviation fuel - commercially viable methods of producing aviation fuel from sources other than greenhouse gas-emitting kerosene -Green hydrogen - commercially viable methods of producing hydrogen from sources other than carbon-emitting hydrocarbons -Direct air capture - the process of extracting carbon dioxide from the ambient air and either sequestering it or using it

SHORTLY AFTER THE INITIAL RETURN WAS TIMELY FILED, IT FILED AN EXTENSION FOR A SHORT TAX YEAR OF 7/1/2021-12/31/2021. THE EXTENSION APPROPRIATELY INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A SHORT YEAR DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE TAX YEAR END. THE EXTENSION WAS ACCEPTED, BUT THE IRS BUSINESS MASTER FILE WAS NOT UPDATED TO CHANGE THE FISCAL YEAR END DATE. (THIS WAS BREATKTHROUGH ENERGY CATALYST FOUNDATION'S FIRST TAX YEAR CHANGE, THEREFORE NO FORM 1128 WAS REQUIRED.) WHEN BREAKTHROUGH ENERGY CATALYST FOUNDATION FILED ITS 12/31/21 SHORT YEAR TAX RETURN ON THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF NOVEMBER 15TH, 2022, IT WAS REJECTED. UPON SEEKING ASSISTANCE FROM THE IRS WITH THE EFILING REJECTION, THE IRS ADVISED CHECKING THE INITIAL RETURN BOX (AS A WORKAROUND) AND RESUBMITTING. THIS IS NOT AN INITIAL RETURN, BUT IT IS BEING SUBMITTED WITH THAT BOX CHECKED BASED ON THE GUIDANCE FROM THE IRS.
